NativeLibrary example is missing mention of F#

[lukemerrick]

Issue description

The AOT Native Library example does not include any F# code or documentation. Attempting to adapt the example to F# as in the below example causes a compiler error This attribute is currently unsupported by the F# compiler. Applying it will not achieve its intended effect. but I cannot find any mention of this limitation, workarounds, future support date, etc.

This is particularly confusing/frustrating because there is this lovely 2+ year old example of doing an F# native library in .NET SDK version 3, but there seems to be little else on the web discussing F# native libraries in more modern .NET.

It would be superb if someone would be willing to add some or all of the following information to either to this example repo or the official docs or both!

Information which would be super helpful to me and others like me

• Whether there is an official mainline way to compile a Native Library from F# in the same way as C# in .NET 7
• The backstory to the compiler error and the current outlook for adding UnmanagedCallersOnly support to the F# compiler
• Best practices for working around the limitations in the current release of .NET 7 (is it best to use CoreRT despite it being superseded by mainline .NET?)

Thank you for reading!

// My attempt to expose a simple function in a Native Library build.
namespace HelloLib

open System.Runtime.InteropServices

module Say =
    [<UnmanagedCallersOnly(EntryPoint= "hello")>]
    let hello name =
        printfn "Hello %s" name
